I’m a day late but I was too busy celebrating @alwayslateaubrey birthday yesterday.

I can’t believe we’ve been together almost a decade. I can’t imagine my life without you. I barely remember my life before you. I’m proud of the mother, educator, and women of God you have become. You’re the sometimes very particular glue that holds our home together, and balances me out in so many ways.

Happy birthday love.

We are @vivobarefoot family. It’s @alwayslatea

We are @vivobarefoot family.

It’s @alwayslateaubrey birthday today so had to get her the boots before we adventure into colder temperatures this winter.

I can’t say enough about this company and why we so strongly support it. Beyond the health of our feet and how important that is to your overall health, the company works to do everything that can to make a positive environmental stamp on the earth.

As you shop this Black Friday please remember to support small businesses and those trying to make a positive impact on the world around us.

Upper body finish Working some hip extension cook

Upper body finish

Working some hip extension cook band tricep extensions and pull downs (thanks @drseanstripling for these) and some isometric partially flexion bicep intervals (these are my attempt to go super saiyan 2).

Dealing with an injury has been frustrating but still finding ways to train has kept me sane.

Find ways to stay strong and keep moving.

Today I turn 39 and one of the many things I’m thankful for is the ability to move.

•40 Turkish Get Ups
•40 :10/:20 Rounds of Battle Rope
•40 Deep Breaths, nasal only. Every ten, I reflected on different memory from each decade of my life. Such a rewarding experience.

I’m thankful I can move relatively pain free and get to do something I love everyday.

Do more with less time.

Busy schedules demand for compound movements.

Try this one on. Tall kneeling cable pulldown and opposite bicep curl to shoulder press. Try to think of it in a seesaw motion. As one moves the other moves, placing greater stress on that core.

Add in a start position that emphasizes reaching the dumbbell down and away from the body and you have a combination sure to light up the whole body, hip to finger tip.

Tall kneeling position requires a lot of activity in the foot and ankle, preferably dorsiflexion to fire those glutes up. Shout out to @vivobarefoot for making a show that flexes with my foot allowing for that position as naturally as possible wearing a shoe.

Shoutout to @matrixfitnessusa for making such a cool piece of equipment that allows for multiple positions of movement. Love having this @orlandobmt.

Life takes its toll and we have to stay resilient.

Life takes its toll and we have to stay resilient.

As I jumped head first into #norestnovember, ready to push my body to its limits for thirty days, I forgot about the one of the most important parts of smart programming: intensity variance.

It’s can’t be all go all the time, because the nervous system doesn’t respond well to that. Add in that I’m currently wearing coaching hats in multiple businesses and going to grad school all at the same time and you get a CNS that’s already overloaded with stimulus.

So I regrouped and added in some light movement and recovery days to tell my body thanks.

Wednesday’s Movements:
Slide#1: Kettlebell Half Get Up
Slide #2: McGill Curl Up
Slide #3: Rip Half Kneeling Rotation
Slide #4: TRX Side Plank with active transition

Not pictured: 500 ft of various loaded carries.

Move well. Move strong. Move often.

From the Ground Up I’ve gotten the opportunity

From the Ground Up

I’ve gotten the opportunity to work with some awesome clients at @orlandobmt. Andrew is one of those guys. High school weightlifter.

We use the FMS screen to identify movement breakdowns that could be causing pain in their performance. The more I screen, the more dysfunctional ankles I see and a lot of “Ah ha!” moments from our clients. Andrew came in with back pain in his squatting pattern and we discovered quickly his lack of ankle mobility. We’ve since included some FRC Pails and Rails as well as Stick Mobility to start to remedy some of that dysfunction. So far so good!

Here he’s going through his reverse nordic curls and stick assisted sissi squats.

If you’re experiencing dysfunction in movement patterns come visit me and let’s get you screened and moving better.

Workouts continue!!

Simple one yesterday:

A. 3d maps warm up (can send video if you want!)

B. :30/:10 x 20 Rounds Battle Rope Alternating Waves

Followed by a grip killer!
:40/:20 x 6 Rounds
C1. Mixed Grip Carry 60 ft
(One arm kettlebell and one arm dumbbell). Switch arms.
C2. Tall kneeling Cable Pulldown (emphasis on scapular motion and core engagement)

Exit Ticket
4 Rounds
D. Seated Hinge Isometric Bicep curl. :15 Hammer, :10 Maximum supination.
(That seated hinge is active in the lower body. It’s not a relaxed position.)

Emphasis on scapular motion and grip conditioning. Battle Rope pacing was 60% effort for a more aerobic level of intensity. Nasal only breathing for a bigger challenge.

Always rocking my @vivobarefoot for the best stimulation from the ground up other than being barefoot. We are bipedal creatures who need working feet and ankles. Make the investment into your health and grab yourself a pair. Use code AJBARE10 to get 10% off.

Do you know what I see when I look in the mirror?

Do you know what I see when I look in the mirror?

Someone overweight and out of shape.

I don’t see the healthy and fit guy who most people do. I don’t see muscles or athleticism. I see the things that are not correct.

I have body dysmorphia.

I’ve had it since I was a young man.

I’m not sharing this with you for sympathy or for compliments. I’m sharing this to shine light on something I know many men deal with.

Every time I post something on here it’s difficult for me to look at myself. Even worse is waiting and thinking about others peoples perceptions of my body.

Do I workout specifically for that? I don’t. Aesthetics don’t drive my workouts. If they did, it would be a hole I wouldn’t come of.

Understand that while things may look great on the outside, on the inside, you have no idea what’s going on. So be careful, even in jest, what you say about someone’s appearance.
Some of us just hide things really well.

This has been my vulnerable moment of 2021.
